The salesgirl quickly covered her mouth, realizing that she had just said the wrong thing.

The corners of Chao Ke's mouth twitched, and even his face turned a little dark.

Seeing the apologetic look from the salesgirl, he opened his mouth to explain.

"I bought this dress for my lover with my own money."

"Yes, I know. You are so handsome, and I can tell at a glance that you are self-reliant. You...you...you are definitely not...definitely not kept by a rich woman..."

Listening to the shopping guide's words of defense, Chao Ke's face not only did not improve, but became even worse.

"Now, can you bring me my order?"

"Okay sir, I'll take your order right away."

The salesgirl fled the scene as if escaping. After a long while, she came out holding a black paper bag.

"Sir, we have completed your custom order. Please check it. If there is no problem, please go to the store manager to sign the order."

Chao Ke opened the paper bag and took a look inside.

In the paper bag, there is the scholar's uniform that Falusan used to determine the size, as well as the customized Hatsune Miku cosplay costume.

Chao Ke opened it and looked at it carefully.

"Not bad."

"The tailor's craftsmanship is better than I expected. Although it is impossible to achieve 100% similarity due to the material, this one is at least 90% similar."

Imagining Senior Falushan putting on this skin, Chao Ke felt a surge of emotion.

Forget it, considering the excellent custom-made products, Chao Ke decided to let it go and not to trouble the tailor workshop for what happened just now.

Since the store manager also had a "strong impression" of Chao Ke, he did not need to present the custom receipt when signing for the custom-made clothing.

The salesgirl breathed a sigh of relief after watching Chao Ke leave the store and completely disappear at the street corner.

"so far so good."

That gentleman is not only handsome, but also very gentle in character.

After saying those words, I neither made a big fuss nor complained to the store manager.

Instead, he chose to forgive himself and not pursue the matter.

Ugh...

Perhaps, this is the reason why he was favored by scholars of the Hebanda level.

If I were a big shot in the Imperial Academy, I would also like to keep a gentle and handsome guy like this.

The salesgirl was lost in thought, her face turning red from time to time.

--------

A few months ago, Inazuma left the island.

A large merchant ship is docked here.

This merchant ship set out from Mond and docked at the outlying island of Inazuma with a warehouse full of goods.

After unloading Mondstadt's goods here and replenishing them with rare goods from Inazuma, we will head towards the next stop, Liyue Harbor.

Of course, merchant ships would also pick up some passengers along the way to make extra money.

At this time, in the port off the island, all kinds of people are performing all kinds of emotions.

There are servants who patrol back and forth every day in the Kanjo Bugyo. They repeat the same work every day, watching the sun rise from the same place on the sea, and then set from the same place, day after day, the waves rushing. Perhaps, they are the ones who can best understand the existence of what the general calls "eternity".

There are fishermen driving fishing boats in the nearby seas. They rely on the experience accumulated by their predecessors and the years, and respond to the call of the sea to seek gifts from nature in the sea where they have lived for generations.

There were workers carrying cargo beside the docked large merchant ships. They looked the most hurried on the dock. After all, what was chasing them was the pressure of life and the smiles of their families.

Of course, all of the above are the background of the sound of the dock, and it is always the different notes that play the melody.

By the boat, a couple hugged each other reluctantly. In this continent where communication and transportation are underdeveloped, every separation requires great care.

Shipwrecks, epidemics, and various natural disasters; policies, wars, and various man-made disasters.

The two places are separated by long distances, and even correspondence cannot be maintained smoothly. I wonder if we will be able to meet again next time. When we meet next time, will we still have the same feelings as we do now?

For lovers, every long separation is a farewell forever in a sense.

After several years of growth without the company and witness of a lover, even if we are lucky enough to meet again, will the one who comes back still be the same person as when we parted?

No one can explain it clearly, all you can do is vent your feelings at this moment.

Ai has never studied geography, but Ai knows a lot about economics.

This is Inazuma Island, the island of farewell.

...

Chiori boarded the merchant ship and took a last look at her parents, the isolated island, and Inazuma.

Do you feel sad? Yes. Do you regret it? No.

Just as Chiori herself said, the name of "Chiori-ya" will return to her hometown before Chiori.

Back on the deck, a woman with a mask on her face walked towards Chiori.

"Chiori, right?"

"Ah."

"Come with me. Your father has greeted us. Your room is in the VIP room on the cabin."

"Well, thank you."

Following the woman's footsteps, Qianzhi walked into the cabin.

On the way to the room, the masked woman gave Chizhi a few reminders.

"Our route is to sail from Inazuma's offshore island to Liyue Harbor. After landing in Liyue, we will stay for a while before reaching Fontaine via the Sunken Jade Valley. Your father should have given you information about this route."

"Ah."

"Well, what I want to remind you is that if you want to reach Fontaine safely, don't look, don't listen, and don't ask along the way. Got it?"

Chihiro nodded.

Father told Qianzhi all this information last night.

Her father clearly told Chizhi that the merchant ship that carried her away was a ship of the Fatui.

Although the Fatui is a dangerous organization, it cannot be denied that the quality of their ships is among the best among merchant ships of all countries.

Their large merchant ships had never suffered a shipwreck even though they frequently traveled through thunderstorms on the Inazuma Sea. However, another ship that could do this, the Death Star, had just been sent out the day before, and it would be several months before it returned again.

Moreover, the Fatui have a close relationship with the Inazuma Bugyo, the navigation procedures are regular and fast, and Chiori's father also has some connections within the Fatui because of business reasons.

Therefore, Chiori's father sent his daughter to the Fatui's ship.

...

Led by the masked woman, Qianzhi came to her own [VIP room].

[VIP Room] The interior is spacious and exquisitely decorated, but it is not the top-notch cabin.

Above the [VIP Room] where Qianzhi lives, there is still this [Luxury Room] for the most distinguished people on the merchant ship.

Qianzhi understood the rule of “don’t ask” and did not ask the masked woman, and the masked woman did not say a word either. After settling Qianzhi down, she left.

.....

With the hull shaking, this merchant ship belonging to the Fatui officially left the outlying island port of Inazuma.

And a plump woman slowly walked towards her own cabin.

Rosalin's face didn't look very good at this moment. It seemed that no matter who went to communicate with [Sixth Seat] Scaramucci, their demeanor would not be very good when they came back.
